    A New Home

    E31 Independence A New Home

    It’s been five months since we learned of our parent’s diagnosis. We’ve dealt with many changes in that time. Obviously the biggest change was our parent’s move to a long-term care facility. As we’ve visited over the last few months, there are good days and not so good days. Another big change...

    The Start; Searching for an Ericson 25 CB

    E25CB The Start; Searching for an Ericson 25 CB

    I have enjoyed sailing quite a number of different boats over the years, and have been lucky enough to own four sailboats before purchasing my 1973 Ericson 25CB "Nordic Thunder". My very first sailboat was a tiny Sunflower sailboat with a single triangular sail. I spent many summers sailing...

    The new dodger is on. The new clutches and larger winches are in place. This is a newer fabric, "RECacril" that is rated better than "Sunbrella" for weave integrity and QC. Since cost is about the same, and the canvas shop has been having great luck with it, we decided to give it a try. This...

    Balsa Core Repair: Cabin Top and Companionway - Part 2

    E25CB Balsa Core Repair: Cabin Top and Companionway - Part 2

    Sometimes I wish I could retire now and spend all my time working on restoring my boat, and then take it on trips to Michigan, Florida, and the NC coast. It can be disheartening when weeks go by without any progress, I do love working on her. But I have a great job, and it funds our project...
